Sorry, I'm a noob, and I don't want to burn my new place down. I'm trying to replace my round-dial, manual thermostat, to digital programmable ones I bought on sale at Rona. When I unscrewed the old dials, I realized it wasn't the same thing at all. Any help would be appreciated, even if it's just "won't work, return day shiet."
So I bought these digital thermostats. Wiring thing looks like this:
I unscrewed the dials from my wall, and they look like this. Only 2 thick wires, which obviously won't fit into the small screws on the back of the digital thermostat:
Behind the plate, it looks like this. Looks like the wires go into "L1" and "T1", and on the other side, there's "L2" and "T2".
The wiring diagram that came with it isn't very helpful at all. Looks like this:
Now my thermostat only controls the baseboard heaters, so I'm guessing I have to wire "L1" and "T1" to my he RH and W screws on the digital thermostat's plate?
Can I just get some 14 gauge wire, and add it as an extension to the wire coming from the wall, so I can screw it on to the back plate of the digital ones? Or will that burn my house down?
Thanks for any help!
